so back to the original question....

Because he says he is and feels he is. He has a black wife and black children. Who are we to classify him on how he looks?

maybe i look like a Christian. Must I be classed as one for political purposes?

Merc, all the black Brits I know here in US totally reject the African American label and get thoroughly annoyed by it. but not as much as they do by people who meet them saying "oh, i though't you were white". there is no Black accent and lifestyle in the UK. at least there wasn't until the teenagers decided it would be cool to emulate American teens....

as to "all one nice brown color"..... starts at 1;50 in (sorry, couldn't find it isolated)

US is described as a "melting pot". It needs more heat.
